Relay

May I relay to you the moments in which I breathe alone, Seeing your pain from the wayside of imminent tears, At a distance, fighting resistance…to run into your space May I relay to you the throbbing of my heart, As I absorbed your crushing absence Wondering how I might fight the worms, As they lodged in your decaying flesh May I relay to all the moonlight above When I forced my soul to leave you Hoping I would see you One last time before I was alone again May I relay to all how I lodged inside you, Like the hungry worms, Trapped willingly in your dead body… I keep wondering how it feels to not feel How it feels in the ground to never be alone (this poem was a free-style that I recorded at the top of my head. Talk about subconscious negativity. geez... Anyway, I tweaked the last line some. : )

So where do all the negative ions come from? They have been separated from the positive ions! Eventually, it all evens out. Neither good nor bad, it just is and that is okay.

Yeah, I get you. It feels good to release them however. It helps me collect my thoughts. I've been doing a lot of this kind of subconscious drivel lately. I saved this one because it actually read decently. I have a bunch of recordings that are just ridiculous, but its interesting to see where my mind goes. ~Laura
